Default RE: True Opinions on Hunting Shows!

I watch them mainly for entertainment, rarely do I learn anything new. Real Tree Road Trips is my favorite. I like the shows that show the true aspect of hunting. Yes, I want to see somebody get a nice buck, but there are 2 things I look for in a good hunting show.

1. Do they show all aspects of it. Back in Camp, guys goofing around, maybe having a beer or two after the hunt. It makes it seem real that way. I want to see guys goofing around after the hunt and giving each other crap for missed shots.I want to see guys tired in the morning getting up to go to there stands. You know, the stuff we all experience. Not just sitting in a blind and dropping a 160 class buck and thats it. Give me the stuff I wait all year, spending time with friends and family in the woods and talking about hunting.

2. I also want to see excitement when someone kills a 150 class buck. I hate when these guys walk up to a buck they just dropped and casually say, "Now that's a nice deer." Im sitting on my couch thinking, you just nailed my dream buck and all you can say is now thats a nice deer? SHOW SOME EXCITEMENT!! One of my favorite hunting episodes is when Craig Morgan (Country Singer) dropped a huge 14 ptr. in Pike Co. Illinois. When he walked up to it. He let out a scream that could be heard in Chicago. He was DAMN excited. Give me a show that has that enthusiasm and i'll take it.

Sorry for the ramble, but im getting a little tired of just watching guys sit in trees for 23 minutes and watch the, harvest a deer the final 4 minutes. Give me some more of what hunting is more about, not just sitting in a tree the whole time. This is my opinion though, you may all disagree but i'd like to see some more of what hunting is about on TV.
